With this money, I can get away from you [...] From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls [...] With this money, I can get away from every rotten stinking thing that makes me think of this place or you!

It's Feral Friday!

If Special Collections were compared to a National Park- a thoughtfully curated, accessible experience of the wilderness of the natural world- where would its edges lie? What would be considered off the beaten path, how would its boundaries be defined, and in what ways would the landscape beyond those boundaries inspire our imagination and broaden our conceptions of the world and our communicative capacities?

That’s the realm of pluralistic inquiry explored by Feral Fridays, a new weekly post where we’ll feature items from our collection like zines, experimental book arts, independently produced poetry and other unruly materials that exist at the margins of publishing and literary traditions.

Let’s get Feral!

JOAN CRAWFORD. (1297)

A forgotten legend who shined as a star in the early 1930's. Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur on March 23, 190? and died of cancer on May 10, 1977). She was an American actress. She started her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting on Broadway and later on to Hollywood.

Crawford often played hardworking young women who find romance and financial success. These "rags-to-riches" stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money. By the end of the 1930s, she was labeled "box office poison".

In 1945 she won the the Academy Award for Best Actress in the film  Mildred Pierce.
